How is that different? Shined up, I think the Yucatan Yellow would look awesome. *disclaimer: I am not 100% sure all boats pictured are Yucatan- though I think they are. Michelle, I admit that I probably wouldnt have ordered a boat in Yucatan- but I wouldnt have ordered Inca Gold either. I do love my red boat, but theres something very cool about these vintage boats in the unique vintage colors. I get a lot of comments on mine- once restored, Im sure you would too. You can count the number of Yucatan boats in the diaries on one hand- its rare! At least you know where I stand. |

I knew that from reading your posts. And I even agree.
"If" the boat were in better condition and all I had to do was strip the paint and buff it out, I "would" keep it yucatan and would "probably" get used to it. If I didn't, I would paint it down the road. That's not the case here. This is coming from someone who just saved an antique china cabinet from being bulldozed in a house. You should see it now. All it needed was a thorough cleaning, grime and wax buildup removal and a rewax with Johnson's. |

Michelle,
Stick with a original color! I'm recommending this because of the many years I've been involved with antique and classic boats. You may not know it but your Mustang qualifies to be entered in a ACBS judged showing even though it is fiberglass!!! Tim' I've got a feeling all the boats you pictured are the Yucatan Yellow. Just differences in color reproduction on paper/film. |

I still think that the best course of action would be to strip the paint and buff it out- it might look better than you expect. A few spot repairs to the gel would be a lot easier than an entire repaint/regel anyways. Im assuming that youre tackling the structural work this winter as well- if I were you, Id get that squared away once youre done stripping the paint. Redo the interior in something neutral (white/cream). Get the boat solid and functional for next year, then decide how/if you want to approach the exterior cosmetics. Just my 2 cents! |

Now here's a great color on an old boat..
Green Skier Like Stang's Mustang, rare and very cool. The old colors are great, if their restorable... Moj' |

lol...that's a great question. I sit in front of 2 computers - pretty much as much as I want and or need to from 7:30 till 5. When you "watch a topic" it pops right up there.

LOL..nice. 60's, 70's boat? I don't know what he got it out of. He brought it to the docks and left it on the Carver for me. I guess he thought I could use it, but all of mine are there. Not saying they work, but I'll find that out later. |

Michelle, The Mustangs didn't have a temp gauge like this one pictured. You have the smaller gauge cluster (which looks better anyway).. I don't remember any CC that did.. Yep, just turned beer thirty,, First one's on me.. Eric needs two, so he can chill out Moj' |

I agree with Tim,get yourself one of these- http://www.hutchinsmfg.com/content/7544.html you can use it to see how your original gel cleans up and if you regel it will help also. Does anyone have a picture of that Orange Chevy powered Mustang at Green Lake? That boat would convince anyone to regel |

I get sea sick, so I stick to just working on them, lol
everytime i end up getting a boat I end up selling it, I really do get out alot on Lake Erie or the lake i live with many different people because i work on thier boats, they dont mind having me along in case something goes wrong. when my kids get a little older I'll buy another ski boat, maybe a Mastercraft or a Malibu or even a Tige....dont worry it would be a CC |

OK, guys.I've been in the garage since 7am.
It's going to need a re-gel or paint job. Yes, might be learning how to gel coat. This will be interesting. I'll take a few pictures for Monday. I'm working on the exterior and "blink" - my better half to be -is working on glassing the new stringers in. He joined the site too and reads alot, but doesn't post yet. Yes, putting a teak platform on it too. Just bought one off of Chris that was parting out a nautique on here. All kinds of wonderful smells floating around in the garage for sure! |

Michelle,
Well now with the teak platform it blows all of my hopes that you were going to do a original restoration. Now you can even paint it purple!!! |

in his sentence he used a key word "paint" i can read between the lines
Ive been thinking about this, well thats if i can cause other voices keep popping in my head, but i think I have been into to many hulls with those fumes. I keep wondering why i keep getting all kinds glass work, its only because no one else wants to do it |
